Mineralization at Driftwood Creek occurs along a two kilometer strike length spanning two zones (Eastern and Western). The Phase II drill program is targeting extensions of magnesite mineralization along strike in the Western Zone, which to date has been delineated across 0.5 kilometers. Management views results thus far as encouraging with most assays reporting magnesite-bearing mineralization throughout entire hole lengths. All four holes have ended in magnesite mineralization.

Drill results from Phase I and II drilling will be added to previous drill core analysis and compiled to establish a maiden National Instrument (N.I.) 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate for the Eastern and Western zones. Independent technical consultant and National Instrument (N.I.) 43-101 Qualified Person Norman Tribe (P. Eng.) has been on site and is preparing to conduct the resource estimate for Driftwood Creek.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control

The sample chain of custody is managed by MGX under the supervision of Mr. Andris Kikauka. Drill core is being split at three meter intervals, secured in a nearby storage facility and shipped to ALS Minerals (“ALS”). ALS is an independent, ISO-certified analytical laboratory located in North Vancouver, British Columbia. ALS is conducting whole-rock analysis using a lithium borate fusion process to calculate oxide equivalent values.

About Magnesite

Magnesite in its purest form is 47.6% Magnesium Oxide ("MgO"). Magnesite generally serves as an excellent feedstock for the production of MgO. MgO in turn is a valuable and widely used industrial mineral. Uses of MgO include abrasives, animal feed supplements, chemicals, coatings, construction, electrical, fertilizers, foundries, glass manufacture, insulation, lubricating oils, pharmaceuticals, plastics manufacture, refractory and ceramics, rubber compounding, steel industry, sugar refining, sulfite wood pulping, and wastewater treatment. At this time MGX is focused on the refractory and steel industries.
